Brock Lesnar made his WWE return at SummerSlam in August 2021. The Beast Incarnate hadn't been seen on WWE TV since his WWE Championship defeat to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36. He made an immediate impact by having a stare-down with the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
Lesnar is set to face Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel for the title on 21st October. He will try to stop the reign of The Head of the Table, who has been dominating SmackDown since the summer of 2020. Reigns' legal counsel, Paul Heyman, is caught in the middle, which has made for interesting storytelling.
Whether he walks out as Universal Champion or not, let's take a look at five feuds for Brock Lesnar following Crown Jewel.
#5 Brock Lesnar vs. Edge
Brock Lesnar is now a free agent when it comes to the WWE brand split. Essentially, he can do whatever wants, when he wants, on any brand. This opens a lot of possibilities when it comes to future feuds.
One feud that stands out is between Brock Lesnar and the Rated R Superstar, Edge. The two have never faced each other one-on-one at a televised event. The two have collided on a house show run in 2002, but that's all. It's about time we got a dream match between the two.
Edge was forced to retire from the ring in 2011 but made his shocking return during the men's Royal Rumble match in 2020. A year after Edge's retirement, in 2012, Lesnar returned to WWE following his departure in 2004. It seemed like we sadly missed the boat on the feud.
Now, Edge is healthy and delivering exceptional matches at a high level, and Lesnar is still on his tour of destruction. It would be a crime if we weren't able to see a feud between the two. Edge would no doubt tear Lesnar down in one promo and have plenty to say to him.
The story writes itself. Edge is still vulnerable because of past injuries, and Brock is a beast that could immediately end Edge's career with his bare hands. Too many German Suplexes could be one too many for the WWE Hall of Famer, and Lesnar could exploit that. Even though Brock is currently performing as a face, he still has that streak of not caring.
Rated R Superstar vs. The Beast Incarnate. It just has to happen at some point.
#4 Brock Lesnar vs. Sheamus
Brock Lesnar and Sheamus have only collided twice in the past on two house shows in 2016 and 2017. They never feuded or collided one-on-one on WWE television, and it's about time that was put right.
The hard-hitting Sheamus would be a test for The Beast Incarnate. Both men love to go hard in matches, and this will likely turn into an all-out war. It would bring a big fight feel, that's for sure.
Sheamus has spoken in the past about possibly facing Lesnar. He spoke with 98 Rock Baltimore about the possibility:
"I would love nothing more than to scrap like that with Brock. I think it would be amazing. It’s what I’ve always talked about and wanted to do for years," Sheamus said. (h/t Wrestling-Edge)
Come on, fella. Get that challenge over to Brock after Crown Jewel so we can finally see a scrap for the ages.
#3 Brock Lesnar vs. Omos
There were reports that WWE planned on splitting Omos from AJ Styles for the 2021 Draft. Of course, it didn't happen but, at some stage, Omos is going to venture out on his own, and it is going to be something to behold.
Imagine the seven-foot-plus Omos going face-to-face with Lesnar. It could be a feud that Brock Lesnar may not be able to overcome. He will no doubt be questioning whether he can get the job done against the Nigerian-born superstar.
Omos must go after The Beast when his singles run comes around to make a name for himself.
#2 Brock Lesnar vs. Bron Breakker
Brock Lesnar hasn't met anyone quite like Bron Breakker. As you can see from the above tweet, there are high hopes for NXT 2.0's latest star, Bron Breakker.
Rick Steiner's son is making waves and has been tipped to be WWE's next big star. At the age of 23, Breakker looks the complete package and has similar comparisons to when Lesnar debuted in 2002.
Could he step up from NXT 2.0 and take on Brock Lesnar? It would be an intriguing feud, seeing a young rookie take it to The Beast Incarnate. Breakker will want to forge his path and not be compared to Lesnar, thus meaning he has to beat Lesnar. There's no time like the present, so Breakker could take his moment after Crown Jewel.
#1 Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
It is a match that the WWE Universe has been clamoring for a very long time. Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley is the ultimate dream match that pits two of the best WWE heavyweights of all time. There's no doubt it is a WrestleMania-worthy feud, and it could all begin after Crown Jewel.
Lashley told The Rich Eisen Show in April 2021 about the possibility of facing Brock Lesnar:
"I’m prepared, I’m ready. Brock and his people, whenever they think that it’s necessary, whenever they think it’s a big enough deal, then I think that they will go and step up, and I think at that point it’ll happen," Bobby Lashley said. (h/t ewrestlingnews)
Here's to hoping this happens and, maybe, we'll finally have a blockbuster feud and match in the next few months.
